Horse Hoof & Leg Care

The Tubbease Equine Hoof Sock is the ultimate treatment aid to a variety of common hoof ailments and infections. 

Tubbease is a short-term treatment aid that will assist and enhance the recovery of range of hoof problems including:

• Abscess and infection
• Compromised or bruised soles
• Thrush
• Laminitis
• White Line Disease
• Seedy Toe

The Advantage:
Taking the stress out of hoof treatment. Let’s face it – conventional treatment of hoof ailments can be stressful for both horse and handler. Soaking and dressing hooves can prove difficult, time-consuming and unsustainable. Tubbease offers simple application and consistency of treatment regardless of user experience and ability. The sleek, simple design ensures a snug and comfortable fit for your horse or pony without the need for additional dressing and wrapping.

Sizing & Fit:
The Tubbease Hoof Sock and Sole Inserts have been designed for easy and simple application in equine hoof treatment. Use the fitting guide  to ensure a correct and comfortable fit for your horse or pony.

How to measure for Tubbease:
Simply measure the widest diameter of your horse’s hoof sole (this might be length or width depending on which is longer) and select one of the Tubbease sizes.

Tubbease can also be fitted over horseshoes.

Please note: The Tubbease dimensions shown  indicate the maximum internal diameter of the Tubbease cup not the diameter of the hoof.

Step 1: After preparing or medicating the hoof, open sock wide and pull Tubbease over hoof.

Step 2:  Check Tubbease is fitting hoof correctly and then pull sock up firmly.

Step 3: With sock taut, fit hook and loop strap to lower pastern with hook side facing sock. Ensure one finger space under strap.

Tubbease should always be secured with the hook and loop strap supplied. A bandage is not suitable or adequate.

Step 4: With hoof on the ground, simply pour in treatment solution as required, or submerge fitted hoof into a bucket of your chosen solution for deeper soaking.

Important: Tubbease Hoof Socks are not enduring boots. They are for short-term use in confirmed enclosures by restrained animals. Judgement should be exercised.

SIZES:

Horses readily accept poultice application, just apply a small amount to area of concern, step back and let the horse feel the soothing effect, then apply 5 – 7 mm thick the area. Please ensure cover extends to at least 2 inches outside the treatment area.

Can be used without bandaging, or otherwise apply liberally, cover with damp paper, plastic and lightly wrap. Pressure bandaging is not required.

Available sizes: 1.8kg and 8kg

Equinade Pure Stockholm Tar contains 100% Swedish Pine Tar which is renowned for it's natural mild antiseptic quality. Stockholm held a monopoly for selling pine tar and so the premium form of the product became known as "Stockholm Tar". Substitute materials are marketed as Stockholm tar, but should not be used as a veterinary product. Whilst black in colour, the substitute is a residue of charcoal production (poly phenolic liquor) which contains hazardous chemicals and up to 22% water. Coal tar is also used as a substitute which contains the toxic and hazardous benzopyrene (C2OH12).

Equinade Pure Stockholm Tar is a high quality pine tar produced using closed kilns to extract the valuable sap, without toxic bi-products being produced e.g. creosote.

Benefits & Uses:

• Non-toxic and does not contain water, petroleum based chemicals or carcinogenic creosote

• Assists in the treatment of split hooves, split heels, cracks and corns. Promotes a flexible and elastic hoof.
• A valuable ingredient to make preparations such as soap, shampoo, animal dips and hoof applications.

SwellDOWN's special mixture of montmorillonite clay and unique therapeutic ingredients has a cooling effect on injuries often caused by hard knocks or jarring. The clay, used as a poultice, draws out heat and reduces swelling commonly generated at damaged sites to aid a more rapid recovery.

• Potassium Aluminium Sulphate: Works to 'tighten' the leg, keeping swelling and inflammation at a minimum.

Strengthens, nourishes and protects the hoof.

Incorrect hoof care could eventually lead to lameness in your horse. To help prevent poor hoof health giving rise to such problems, HoofPRIME Hoof Dressing has been formulated to penetrate and nourish your horses hooves. The large number of high quality oils, phenol, venice turpentine, iodine and other natural ingredients in HoofPRIME help ensure your horses hooves remain healthy.

In dry conditions the hoof becomes cracked and brittle. The regular use of HoofPRIME keeps the hoof strong and flexible. This flexibility allows the hoof to more fully absorb the shock from exercise on hard ground and therefore helps to protect the leg from injury.

In wet conditions the hoof may absorb too much water and become soft. HoofPRIME's oils act as a water barrier to help prevent this, ensuring the hoof remains in good condition.

In addition, this superior hoof dressing need only be applied every second day cutting your costs and your time in half. HoofPRIME is available in either a convenient 900ml container with an easy to apply brush or in a 5Ltr container.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Cleanse horses hooves thoroughly, then apply HoofPRIME dressing with a brush. Cover the entire hoof, working well into the hairline and around the frog. Apply every alternate day under normal conditions or as required. May be used daily during dry weather, or if the hooves are hard and brittle.
